Great stuff, I asked a question some weeks back on the quick questions forum & I was told they wouldn't be running this offer, this year. Can't convince the missus to let me have an annual pass as i'm a season ticket holder at Villa Park and that costs quite a bit so this will help fund some trips this year!
Thanks for riding the Runaway Minetrain, we hope you enjoyed your trip. Choo! Choo!

With this offer being around the same time as last year and practically the same, do you think its likely the map will be released alongside it again?

Sounds great this offer doesnt it? However in my opinion its totally crap.
Why cant they do what they have done in the past where you could go anyday? Not this rubbish where they will give you tickets for a certain day like last year. I mean I know why thier doing it, so they can spread it over the year to get a consistant run of people every week, not just people going on weekends.
But what if you buy the paper purposely for these tickets, and you end up with a day, say a Wednesday which you cant make? Also the fact you only get 2, which makes it totally useless if you get 2 for a Friday, and your mate gets 2 for the Sunday.
Id rather pay half price for a ticket and choose which day I want to go rather than get 2 free tickets and be told which day I have to go.

Why dont you just use one of the BOGOF's then that are available every year?
because that works out at half price
Some people will moan at anything free, 2 free tickets for the cost of 7 papers.
Do it 3 times like i did last year, put them all on ebay , get £20-30 for two tickets, then buy your tickets online with the money from ebay

Full information and date bands etc... here.
An order form with extra bonus token will be made available from Wednesday as well. Of course, the best thing from this promotion last year was the debut of the new map, hopefully we'll get to see the 2009 map in it's glory in a few days...

Ahh I see!
I did not get a bonus token through the post that's all.
I've got Starter, 1, 2, 3 and online bonus at the moment. So only 2 more to go!
